Hi,

I have reorganized the git.alpinelinux.org repos.

Developers can create new git repos at will, it is just to put the repo
in ~/cgit and it will show up on the http://git.alpinelinux.org index
page. You can select in what section the repo should show up by create
a cgitrc file and you can set the description.

To create a new project named mytest do the following:

# create a dir, init git and create a first commit
mkdir mytest
cd mytest
echo "testing" > test.txt
git init
git add .
git commit -m 'initial commit'


# clone it to a bare repo
cd ..
git clone --bare mytest mytest.git

# set the description
echo "My git/cgit test" > mytest.git/description

# Set the section for cgit
echo "section=3DDeveloper ncopa" > mytest.git/cgitrc

# copy to ~/cgit dir on git.a.o
scp -r mytest.git git.alpinelinux.org:cgit/

# At this point, the empty repo should be visible on the index page
# http://git.alpinelinux.org/

# Note the ssh clone address on the cgit page:
# http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/ncopa/mytest.git/

# we no longer need the local bare repository.
rm -rf mytest.git

To continue use the repo you will mostly like want change the repos
origin, so you can simply do 'git push' for pushing it to git.a.o.
There are 2 ways to do it: 1) modify origin in .git/config or 2) remove
the mytest dir and use the ssh clone url.

1)
cd mytest
vim .git/config
# add the following lines:
[remote "origin"]
        fetch =3D +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
        url =3D ssh://git.alpinelinux.org/gitroot/ncopa/mytest.git
[branch "master"]
        remote =3D origin
        merge =3D refs/heads/master


2)
rm -rf mytest
git clone ssh://git.alpinelinux.org/gitroot/ncopa/mytest.git

Now you can do local modifications and git push etc.


Also note that developers with ssh also can put stuff in
~/public_html that will show up in http://dev.alpinelinux.org/~user.
See http://dev.alpinelinux.org/=CC=83~ncopa/alpine for example. This is so
developers has some http space for uploading sources, bigger patchers
etc. Please do not abuse it.

PS. Would be nice if someone could test the above and put it on the
wiki.a.o. thanks!
